I am trying to develop a windows phone 8.1 application.(not silverlight). I need to locate my current location and also nearest location. (i.e geographic points of interest within a given proximity (e.g. 10km) filtered by category, such as "restaurants","petrol bunks","hotels" etc.)
With the help of BingMapsTask we can do it in silverlight applications. So coming to wp8.1 I tried using launch uri. But I cannot get the current location and nearby selected category with this uri
await Windows.System.Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri("bingmaps:?lvl=10&where=restaurants", UriKind.Absolute));
